Overview

About 126 Thaxted Road

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

126 Thaxted Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 62.1% above the 2013 sale of £239,995. 13 years since the last transfer (April 2013). At 85 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 18 EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2023.
