About 1 Augustus Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Augustus Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5GF). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 4 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. 11 years since the last transfer (August 2015). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2004.
