About Grove House

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

Grove House is a detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4HA). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1338 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 is 41.1% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
