About 11 Bolsin Drive
11 Bolsin Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5FD). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2003 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 85.1% above the 2003 sale of £139,950. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (116 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
