About 17 Dicksons Drive

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

17 Dicksons Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chester (CH2 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

    Outcome in report

    T1 - Poplar Located at the rear boundary of the property overhanging the allotments at the back, reduce crown height and spread by 2-3m to manage weight overhanging the boundary. T4 Plum - Located at the right side of the property towards the end of the garden, fell to as close to ground level as possible due to the severe lean of the tree. This tree now has very low value to the garden. T5&T6 Apple - Located at the rear of the property central in the garden, reduce in height by 1-2m to shape. This will act as structural pruning to provide a suitable framework to build on in the future due to the lack of any previous work. The client would like to maintain and develop these into more specimen trees. T8 Hawthorn - Located at the rear right side of the property on the neighbour's side, cut back the overhang by 1-1.5m to reduce the encroachment over the garden.
