About La Rochelle

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

La Rochelle is a four-bedroom detached house in Littlebury, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2008. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £650,000 is 21.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£317/sq ft) was about 20.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in September 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.
