About The Lodge
The Lodge is a two-bedroom detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 4EB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 72 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £499,000 sits 219.9% above the 1998 sale of £156,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 39.7% below the postcode norm.
