About 31 Caelum Drive
31 Caelum Drive is a one-bedroom end-of-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. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2019); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. 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. Other recorded features include a balcony.
It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. 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). Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 15.8% above the 2008 sale price.
