Whispering Oaks is a three-bedroom detached house in Howe Green, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 7TD). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.
