About 5 Cowslip Court

5 Cowslip Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump.
