5 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 (April 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58).
