Overview

About 5 Church Hill

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

5 Church Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7EB). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 67.3% above the 2007 sale of £260,000. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2013.
