Overview

About 3 White Elm Road

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

3 White Elm Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold September 2022 for £535,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 106 m² it's 26.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£469/sq ft) was about 84.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
