Overview

About 2 High Street

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

2 High Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Boxworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4LY). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 sits 331.2% above the 1998 sale of £109,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 66.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
