About 1 Saffron Way

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

1 Saffron Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0AX). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 618 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
