About 83 Melford Road
83 Melford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sudbury (CO10 1JT). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 640 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 39), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–115 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 60 m² it's 20.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 is 27% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 18% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: change of use to residential refused in 2009.
