Overview

About 4 Dockwra Lane

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

4 Dockwra Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in June 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £414,000 sits 398.8% above the 1996 sale of £83,000.
