Overview

About 7 Carus Crescent

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

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. 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 £326,000 sits 76.2% 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.
