Overview

About 1 Lilian Impey Drive

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

1 Lilian Impey Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9GP). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 232.1% above the 2000 sale of £143,950. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
