About 3 Auton Croft
3 Auton Croft is a four-bedroom detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £695,000 sits 75.9% above the 2007 sale of £395,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 55.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
