About Chestnut Farm

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

Chestnut Farm is a detached house in Great Wigborough, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7RH). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2025 and council tax band G.
