About 3 Bellingham Drive
3 Bellingham Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Copford, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 278 m² (around 2991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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.
