About 4 Ditton Lane

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

4 Ditton Lane is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
