Overview

About Yew Lodge

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

Yew Lodge is a detached house in Highwood, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
