Overview

About 4 Highfield Rise

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

4 Highfield Rise is a three-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6DN). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1585 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 sits 57% above the 2010 sale of £305,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
