17 North Terrace, Cambridge, CB5 8DJ

17 North Terrace is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). At 36 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–175 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 19 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 1996, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 232.8% above the 1996 sale of £156,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2007. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
