Overview

About Bridge Farm

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

Bridge Farm is a detached house in Lexden Heath, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0JU). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 is 32% below the 2017 sale of £735,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£484/sq ft) was about 97.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in June 2017.
