About The Cottage
The Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Clavering, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4QX). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 533 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (178 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year.
