1 Brimley Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–108 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 13 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
