Overview

About 5 Brick Kiln Lane

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

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. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£336/sq ft) was about 32.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £615,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
