8 Birkdale Rise is a four-bedroom detached house in Hatfield Peverel, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 2JT). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 sits 155.8% above the 2006 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 66.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
