Overview

About 34 Barnardiston Road

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

34 Barnardiston Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
