About 4 Wootton Drive
4 Wootton Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 3RT). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 75 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (75–254 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.
At 75 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 5 EPCs). Last sale on file: £215,000 in August 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
