Overview

About 5 Little Orchards

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

5 Little Orchards is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Broomfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 7EP). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1063 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 48.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 34.4% below the postcode norm.
