About 28 Main Street
28 Main Street is a six-bedroom detached house in Hardwick, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 7QS). It has a recorded floor area of 379 m² (around 4080 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 379 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,866,000 sits 107.3% above the 2007 sale of £900,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
