1 Gordon Drive, Highwoods, Colchester, CO4 9FT

1 Gordon Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9FT). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1165 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £399,000 sits 77.3% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
