About Greyhound Hill Farm
Greyhound Hill Farm is a detached house in Langham, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5QF). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
