2a, Alton Drive, Colchester, CO3 3ST

2a is a detached house in Colchester (CO3 3ST). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £867,000 sits 86.5% above the 2005 sale of £465,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 39.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
