About 1 Highfields
1 Highfields is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Langley Upper Green, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4RU). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since August 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 is 43.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£366/sq ft) was about 23.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
