Vine House is a five-bedroom detached house in Peldon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7PU). It has a recorded floor area of 267 m² (around 2874 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
It hasn't traded since December 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. At 267 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1996–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £748,000 sits 160.2% above the 2000 sale of £287,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 55.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
Vine House's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
