Overview

About 13 Fen Road

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

13 Fen Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£579/sq ft) was about 132.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £430,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
