Overview

About Woodham Hall

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

Woodham Hall is a detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4HW). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2788 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 259 m² the property is well over the postcode median (181 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £1,054,000 is 30.9% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £805,000 in December 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
