Overview

About Honeysuckle Cottage

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

Honeysuckle Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Mile End, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5HB). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

At 97 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 is 48.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 40% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
