About 6 Park Road

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

6 Park Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 3UL). It has a recorded floor area of 253 m² (around 2723 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 253 m² the property is well over the postcode median (164 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
