About 166 High Street
166 High Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Kelvedon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9JD). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2037 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since November 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. At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £522,000 sits 134.6% above the 2009 sale of £222,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension, partial demolition and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
