Beacon Hill House is a detached house in Cold Norton, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6JG). It has a recorded floor area of 288 m² (around 3100 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H.

Today's modelled estimate of £951,000 is 23.9% below the 2021 sale of £1,250,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.

At 288 m² the property is well over the postcode median (148 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 8 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £1,250,000 in June 2021.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Beacon Hill House is modelled from its 288 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6JG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Beacon Hill House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to Beacon Hill 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.

- Beacon Hill House is in council tax band H. 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.
