Overview

About 2 Scotland Road

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

2 Scotland Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dry Drayton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since October 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 87.2% above the 2007 sale of £180,000.
