2 Arden Close, Colchester, CO4 0JP

2 Arden Close is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0JP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 406.2% above the 1996 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 74.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
