Cambridge market report CB4 3
The CB4 3 (Cambridge) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 4,671 HM Land Registry entries for CB4 3 (Cambridge), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 29 registered 2026 sales put the CB4 3 (Cambridge) median at £455,000, up 0% on five years earlier, with a mean of £473,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,870 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,671 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CB4 3 is one sector of CB4 (Cambridge): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical CB4 3 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £455,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 179%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB4 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.7% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in CB4 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the CB4 3 market
This is a thin market: 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within CB4, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around CB4 3
For renting purposes CB4 3 sits in Cambridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,805 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,255 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cambridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £455,000 median sold price, £1,805 a month is £21,660 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: CB prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CB area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £260,000 | £325,000 (+25%) | £408,000 (+26%) | £562,500 (+38%) | £760,000 (+35%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
