Overview

About 18 Barley Mead

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

18 Barley Mead is a four-bedroom detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4RP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
