About 16 Parkside Quarter

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

16 Parkside Quarter is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO1 1EA). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 118 m² this is the 17th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–166 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 25 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 118 m² it's 24.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Sold September 2021 for £255,000.
