20 Fortune Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1RR). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1322 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 sits 66.7% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm.
