About Fenton Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Fenton Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 1HW). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and council tax band C. At 49 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Fenton Court (49–92 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (September 2014) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold September 2021 for £198,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Fenton Court is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 1HW. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Fenton Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Fenton Court was lodged in September 2014 at band B and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Fenton Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 1HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Fenton Court is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
