About This Property
This detached house is located in CHELMSFORD, CM3 2FG. The property offers 112m² (1206 sq ft) of good-sized living space. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100).
