Overview

About 4 Babergh Close

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

4 Babergh Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Acton, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 0UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 is 16.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £248,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
