About 4 Benedict Drive
4 Benedict Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 2SD). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 sits 86.4% above the 2008 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm. At 111 m² it's 20.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 11 EPCs).
