Overview

About 5 Bateson Road

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

5 Bateson Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 3HF). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 2007–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 70.2% above the 2013 sale of £295,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2000.
