Overview

About 20 Barbrook Way

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

20 Barbrook Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4HP). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.

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 20 Barbrook Way is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4HP. 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 20 Barbrook Way. 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 20 Barbrook Way was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 20 Barbrook Way. 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 3 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 4HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Barbrook Way is in council tax band E. 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.
