Overview

About 3 Cherwell Drive

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

3 Cherwell Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 2JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1104 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 is 23.7% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 33.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
