About Charnock House
Charnock House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 378.9% above the 1997 sale of £57,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 77.7% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
