About 10 Brambledown

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

10 Brambledown is a three-bedroom detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8RY). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).
