About 17 Essex Hall Road

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

17 Essex Hall Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1ZP). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
