About 1a

1a is a three-bedroom detached house in South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 5YX). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
