Overview

About 3 Long Road

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

3 Long Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Comberton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 7DG). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
