About 237 Chesterton Road
237 Chesterton Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1704 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,245,000 sits 64.7% above the 2011 sale of £756,000. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2004. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
