About 20 Darkhouse Lane
20 Darkhouse Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1487 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since November 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. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 54.4% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm.
