Overview

About 7 Birch Street

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

7 Birch Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Nayland, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4JA). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in January 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 48.5% above the 2014 sale price.
