Overview

About 3 Acorn Mews

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

3 Acorn Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8SR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 is 35% above the 2015 sale price.
