Overview

About 8 Ramparts Cottages

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

8 Ramparts Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Horkesley, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4AU). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 882 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 76% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
