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 £548,000 sits 61.2% 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.
