Overview

About 7 Horningsea Road

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

7 Horningsea Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Fen Ditton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB5 8SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 66 m² it's 27.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 28 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 sits 72.3% above the 2012 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 23.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
