Woodlands is a 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 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
