Overview

About 52 Sweet Briar Road

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

52 Sweet Briar Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0HH). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
