Overview

About 2 Church Lane

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

2 Church Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Madingley, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 8AF). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 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. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 sits 123.8% above the 2007 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 38.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 130 m² it's 19.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 16 EPCs).
