About 312 Ipswich Road
312 Ipswich Road is a detached house in Colchester (CO4 0ET). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
