Overview

About Cob Cottage

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

Cob Cottage is a detached house in Edney Common, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3RE). It has a recorded floor area of 261 m² (around 2809 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,099,000 is 21.5% below the 2016 sale of £1,400,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£498/sq ft) was about 431.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
