About 38 Chestnut Road

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

38 Chestnut Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Vange, Basildon, Basildon (SS16 4TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
