About 15 Ascham Road

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

15 Ascham Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F.
