Overview

About 1 Broomfield Cottages

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

1 Broomfield Cottages is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Earls Colne, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 2JX). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 sits 344.4% above the 2001 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 71.9% below the postcode norm. At 180 m² it's 19.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (151 m² median across 4 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2011.
