3 The Square is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Stow-Cum-Quy, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9AW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
