Overview

About 5 Swaffham Road

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

5 Swaffham Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Burwell, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
