Overview

About Austral Farm

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

Austral Farm is a five-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6DP). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (145 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 40.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2023 for £855,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Austral Farm is modelled from its 223 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Austral Farm. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Austral Farm was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Austral Farm. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CM3 6DP. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Austral Farm is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
