Overview

About 2 Skipper Grove

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

2 Skipper Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 95). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
