About 293 Chesterton Road
293 Chesterton Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
