Overview

About Manwood Tye

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

Manwood Tye is a four-bedroom detached house in Abberton, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7NR). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since June 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 215 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £718,000 sits 156.4% above the 2001 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 52.3% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Manwood Tye is modelled from its 215 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7NR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Manwood Tye. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Manwood Tye was lodged in July 2025 at band E and is valid until July 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Manwood Tye. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 7NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Manwood Tye is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
