About 344 Old Heath Road

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

344 Old Heath Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 8DD). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.
