Overview

About Thatched Cottage

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

Thatched Cottage is a detached house in Terling, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 2QP). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1350 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

9 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 125 m² it's 18.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £958,000 is 47.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£482/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Thatched Cottage is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 2QP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Thatched 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 Thatched Cottage was lodged in March 2010 at band F and expired in March 2020, 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. 9 applications are matched to Thatched 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 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 2QP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Thatched Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
