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 £1,212,000 is 13.4% 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.

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 Cob Cottage is modelled from its 261 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 3RE. 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 Cob Cottage. 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 Cob Cottage was lodged in June 2015 at band F and expired in June 2025, 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. 3 applications are matched to Cob Cottage. 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 4 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 3RE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Cob Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
