Overview

About 1 Causton Road

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

1 Causton Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1RR). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in December 1998. 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 £210,000 sits 400% above the 1998 sale of £42,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 67% below the postcode norm. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
