About Kings Cottage

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

Kings Cottage is a semi-detached house in Clavering, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4PP). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 843 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 53), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (143 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
