Overview

About 3 Abberton Grange

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

3 Abberton Grange is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Abberton, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7NL). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 64 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in 3 Abberton Grange, where floor areas span 62–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 40.9% above the 2009 sale price.
