About 12 Green Trees Avenue
12 Green Trees Avenue is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cold Norton, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6JA). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since November 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 432.2% above the 1995 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 58.4% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
