Overview

About 3 Errington Road

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

3 Errington Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3EA). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 27). Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 92 m² it's 17.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 is 34.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 43.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
