About 8 Hill Road
8 Hill Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Coggeshall, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1SP). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in March 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 581% above the 1997 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 79.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
