Overview

About 4 Brierley Paddock

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

4 Brierley Paddock is a four-bedroom detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 70).
