About 1 St Johns Crescent
1 St Johns Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Great Horkesley, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4ES). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 865 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
