Overview

About 2 Bardsley Close

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

2 Bardsley Close is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5GS). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 89.2% above the 2014 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
