About 23 Great Lane

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

23 Great Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Reach, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 0JF). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
