About 5 Brick Kiln Lane
5 Brick Kiln Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Horkesley, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4EU). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
