About 5 Fitzwalter Road
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.
