About 5 Arbury Road

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

5 Arbury Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB4 2JB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1005 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Past consents include solar panel installation and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
