About 3 Athelstan Road

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

3 Athelstan Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 3TN). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
