Overview

About Tollgate Cottage

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

Tollgate Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Kelvedon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9AP). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2017–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 13.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£379/sq ft) was about 100.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £232,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
