About 4 Chancery Place
4 Chancery Place is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Writtle, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3DY). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since May 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 £523,000 sits 97.4% above the 2007 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm. At 105 m² it's 29.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 5 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
