About Old Forge House

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

Old Forge House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cavendish, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 is 24.3% above the 2012 sale price.
