About 1a

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

1a is a two-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6UP). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.
