About 4 Bishop Road
4 Bishop Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 1PX). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 85.9% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£386/sq ft) was about 57.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 29.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 44 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
