About 49 Defoe Road
49 Defoe Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 6SN). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–83 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 226.8% above the 2010 sale of £41,000.
