Overview

About Acorn Lodge

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

Acorn Lodge is a three-bedroom detached house in Lea Marston, Sutton Coldfield, Sutton Coldfield (B76 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since October 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 63.1% above the 2003 sale of £249,000. At 110 m² it sits well below the postcode median (170 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
