Overview

About 17 Brook Street

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

17 Brook Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Elsworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4HX). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
