Overview

About 5 Great Close

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

5 Great Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 7BH). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in June 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 sits 369.3% above the 2000 sale of £57,750. At 58 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
