3 Baird House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 3TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A.

The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 70.2% above the 2007 sale of £114,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 39.7% below the postcode norm.
