About 21 Bergholt Road
21 Bergholt Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 686 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 101.5% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 25.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
