Overview

About St Peters Cottage

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

St Peters Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Boxted, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 129 m² it's 29.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). On the market in June 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 is 30.6% above the 2016 sale price.
