About Quinces Cottage

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

Quinces Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Wormingford, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 102 m² it sits well below the postcode median (183 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 8 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in June 2015. Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 is 45.9% above the 2015 sale price.
