About 13 Searle Way
13 Searle Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Eight Ash Green, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 3QS). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E.

The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
