About Sunnyside

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

Sunnyside is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a self-contained annexe.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 60.4% above the 2015 sale of £240,000.
