Overview

About 23 Edies Lane

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

23 Edies Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Leavenheath, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 261 m² (around 2809 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since April 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

At 261 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £774,000 sits 91.1% above the 2015 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 50.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2010. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in March 2015.
