Overview

About 7 Church Close

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

7 Church Close is a detached house in West Bergholt, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 3JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1384 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 68.2% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 19.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 129 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (170 m² median across 5 EPCs).
