Overview

About 55 Hawthorn Way

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

55 Hawthorn Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 60% above the 2015 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£311/sq ft) was about 132.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in July 2015.
