Overview

About 2 Kings Cottage

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

2 Kings Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Horningsea, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9JE). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 89% above the 2007 sale of £255,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
