Overview

About 6 Swallow Gardens

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

6 Swallow Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chesterton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB4 1FU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (March 2015). Today's modelled estimate of £574,000 is 35.4% above the 2015 sale price.
