Overview

About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Clavering, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 53.3% above the 2007 sale of £330,750. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 97 m² it's 21.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 9 EPCs).
