Overview

About 138 Thaxted Road

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

138 Thaxted Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since January 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 239.3% above the 2003 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 54.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
