Overview

About 4 Ashford Road

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

4 Ashford Road is a semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 66.3% above the 2007 sale of £243,000.
