16 Paddock Row, Elsworth, Cambridge, CB23 4JG

16 Paddock Row is a detached house in Elsworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4JG). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 57.9% above the 2013 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 19.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
