Overview

About 1 Kennels Cottages

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

1 Kennels Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JN). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 967 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £566,000 sits 50.9% above the 2011 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£388/sq ft) was about 27.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2011, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
