Local market context
Stuart House is a two-bedroom property in Colchester (CO1 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. At 68 m² this is the 39th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in Stuart House, where floor areas span 37–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 51 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 141.2% above the 1999 sale of £67,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
