Overview

About 5 Cherrywood Drive

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

5 Cherrywood Drive is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
