Overview

About 3 Grantham Road

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

3 Grantham Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Horkesley, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4TU). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1062 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 sits 85.1% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 18.7% below the postcode norm.
