About Valentines

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

Valentines is a detached house in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1PN). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
