10 Apprentice Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5SE). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft) and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
