Overview

About 3 Smugglers Club Ground

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

3 Smugglers Club Ground is a detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 269.1% above the 2008 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 40.5% below the postcode norm. At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
