About 2 Souther Cross

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

2 Souther Cross is a semi-detached house in Good Easter, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 4RX). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
