Overview

About 1 Francis Close

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

1 Francis Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 925 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on oil.
