Overview

About 3 Kiln Cottages

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

3 Kiln Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4JN). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 64.7% above the 2015 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 3 Kiln Cottages is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4JN. 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 3 Kiln Cottages. 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 3 Kiln Cottages was lodged in January 2025 at band D and is valid until January 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Kiln Cottages. 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 4JN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Kiln Cottages is in council tax band D. 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.
