About 21 Arden Road
21 Arden Road is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 823 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
