Burmarsh is a detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2025. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £604,000 sits 93.3% above the 2007 sale of £312,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,075/sq ft) was about 284.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, an annexe and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
Burmarsh ranks among the most efficient homes in the postcode for energy use.
