7 Carus Crescent, Highwoods, Colchester, CO4 9FU

7 Carus Crescent is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9FU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

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 £352,000 sits 90.3% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 16.5% below the postcode norm.
