Overview

About 1 Brook Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Brook Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Elsworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4HX). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1179 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since February 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £645,000 sits 50% above the 2011 sale of £430,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£365/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
