About 9 Barbel Road
9 Barbel Road is a detached house in Colchester (CO4 3EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 993 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
