Overview

About 25 Acorn Close

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

25 Acorn Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0HY). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 89.1% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 21.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 94 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 13 EPCs).
