4 Spinneyfields, Barbrook Lane, Tiptree, Colchester, CO5 0EE
About 4 Spinneyfields
4 Spinneyfields is a four-bedroom detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0EE). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 is 11% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 29.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £400,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
