About De Beauvoir House

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

De Beauvoir House is a detached house in Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 8RN). It has a recorded floor area of 299 m² (around 3218 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
