Overview

About 3 Elsworth Road

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

3 Elsworth Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Boxworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£465/sq ft) was about 230% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £345,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
