Overview

About 43 Shimbrooks

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

43 Shimbrooks is a five-bedroom detached house in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1907 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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 177 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £667,000 is 34.7% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
