About 2 Brook Street
2 Brook Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Elsworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4HX). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1223 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer was May 2025 at £615,000 — fresh data. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, 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). Across 2005–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£503/sq ft) was about 62.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
