Overview

About 4 Sweet Briar Road

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

4 Sweet Briar Road is a detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 40), 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 April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 76.3% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 23% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
