Overview

About 38 Hawthorn Way

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

38 Hawthorn Way is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £584,000 sits 134.1% above the 2009 sale of £249,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
