About 1 Duke S Barn
1 Duke S Barn is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Duddenhoe End, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 4UP). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2598 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £842,000 is 25.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 99.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.
