Overview

About 8 Garden Close

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

8 Garden Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6BP). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £290,000. 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 99 m² it's 15% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 20 EPCs). Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 24.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 40.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
