About 10 Homedale Cottages

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

10 Homedale Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Boxted, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 103), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
