Overview

About Gull Cottage

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

Gull Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Coggeshall, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1RU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 983 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a G (score 3), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 91 m² it's 20.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 is 38.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 90.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
