Overview

About 1 Brigadier House

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

1 Brigadier House is a one-bedroom property in Colchester (CO2 7LD). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 57 m² it's 26.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 18 EPCs). Across 2014–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year.
