31a, Dunthorne Road, Colchester, CO4 0HZ

31a is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 sits 100% above the 2007 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 33.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
