Overview

About 5 Fitzwalter Road

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

5 Fitzwalter Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 3SS). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in December 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £958,000 sits 219.3% above the 1997 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 66.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
