About 12 Adair Road
12 Adair Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 5BG). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
