Overview

About 3 Bakers Cottages

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

3 Bakers Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4LW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 is 13.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£519/sq ft) was about 45.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
