Overview

About 2 The Gables

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

2 The Gables is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in West Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 55 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–56 m². On EPC score it ranks last in the building (72 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
