Overview

About 15 Spring Lane

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

15 Spring Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Lexden Bridge Hamlet, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 821 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 63.9% above the 2015 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (219 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in May 2015.
