About Snowdons
Snowdons is a detached house in Fordham, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 3NN). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 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. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
