Overview

About 3 Frere Way

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

3 Frere Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Fingringhoe, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7BP). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 sits 52.4% above the 2015 sale of £222,500. At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
