Overview

About 4 Cathedral Walk

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

4 Cathedral Walk is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 1NX). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 42 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2016. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since April 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 191.3% above the 1999 sale of £63,500.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Cathedral Walk is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 1NX. 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 4 Cathedral Walk. 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 4 Cathedral Walk was lodged in March 2026 at band C and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Cathedral Walk. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 1NX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Cathedral Walk is in council tax band B. 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.
