Overview

About Brambly Hedge

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

Brambly Hedge is a detached house in Layer Breton, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0PY). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (170 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £705,000 is 46.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£431/sq ft) was about 132.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
