About 18 Kings Hedges Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Kings Hedges Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2PA). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2017 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
