Overview

About Church Gate Lodge

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

Church Gate Lodge is a semi-detached house in Great Waltham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1DE). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 sits 117.2% above the 2004 sale of £249,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 42% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
