16a, Pleasant Valley, Saffron Walden, CB11 4AP

16a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 913 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 70.4% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
