Overview

About 8 Parsonage Street

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

8 Parsonage Street is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8DN). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 132 m² it's 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). On the market in December 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £729,000 is 35% above the 2012 sale price.
