Overview

About 15 Caelum Drive

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

15 Caelum Drive is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 8FN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 45 m² this is the 6th smallest of 67 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 67 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 66 EPCs).
