Lippitts House, The Street, Assington, Sudbury, CO10 5LJ

Lippitts House is a four-bedroom detached house in Assington, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1543 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 347.8% above the 1997 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 71.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
