About Cowell Chambers

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

Cowell Chambers is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5HD). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1051 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
