About 15 Bale Close

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

15 Bale Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 9XP). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C.
