About 12 Trafalgar Street
12 Trafalgar Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 1ET). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
