About 1 Peace Cottage
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.

Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
