Overview

About Brown Leaves House

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

Brown Leaves House is a five-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6DU). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 10 years since the last transfer (October 2016). Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £763,000 is 28.2% above the 2016 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Brown Leaves House is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6DU. 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 Brown Leaves House. 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 Brown Leaves House was lodged in February 2016 at band F and expired in February 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to Brown Leaves House. 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 6DU. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Brown Leaves House is in council tax band E. 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.
