Overview

About 4 Thaxted Road

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

4 Thaxted Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3AA). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 49), 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 May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 67.1% above the 2013 sale of £210,000. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
