12 Abbess Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 2SE). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1100 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
