About 1 Brook Street
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.
