Bacons Piece, Workhouse Hill, Boxted, Colchester, CO4 5TT

Bacons Piece is a detached house in Boxted, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5TT). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (182 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
