Overview

About 3 Woodside Cottages

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

3 Woodside Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Edney Common, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3RD). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 sits 63.5% above the 2014 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£363/sq ft) was about 42.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Woodside Cottages is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 3RD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Woodside Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Woodside Cottages was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Woodside Cottages. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 3RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Woodside Cottages is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
