Overview

About Willow Cottage

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

Willow Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Fairstead, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 2BB). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £704,000 sits 302.3% above the 1997 sale of £175,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Willow Cottage is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 2BB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Willow Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Willow Cottage was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Willow Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 2BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
