About 18 Cowley Road

18 Cowley Road is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a G (score 11), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
