Overview

About 160 Watson Heights

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

160 Watson Heights is a one-bedroom property in Chelmsford (CM1 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft) and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 46 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 64 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2015) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
