Overview

About 10 Causeway Cottages

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

10 Causeway Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Writtle, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3PR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 2018–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 19.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 76 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 10 EPCs). Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £360,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
