About 81 Holt Drive

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

81 Holt Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO2 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2018) 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.
