Overview

About Eagle Cottage

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

Eagle Cottage is a semi-detached house in Ford End, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £487,000 sits 95.6% above the 2007 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 17.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
