About 6 Bluegates Place

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

6 Bluegates Place is a detached house in Colchester (CO4 5XY). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft) and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2015) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
