8 Jefferson Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 9DR). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
