Overview

About 52 High Street

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

52 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Cottenham, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 8SA). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2015–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 34.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £530,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
