Overview

About 1 Peace Cottage

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

1 Peace Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Copford, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1233 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 64% above the 2011 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 36.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
