Overview

About 3 Claypits Road

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

3 Claypits Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Boreham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 3BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
