Overview

About 20 Ashurst Close

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

20 Ashurst Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7HU). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 68.1% above the 2013 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 68.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2014. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
