About 26 Dugard Avenue

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

26 Dugard Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 9EH). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
