About 16 Byron Avenue

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

16 Byron Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4HG). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.
