17 Chequers Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Writtle, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3NG). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
