About 5 Broad Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Broad Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Cotton, Stowmarket, Stowmarket (IP14 4ND). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 81.8% above the 2014 sale of £110,000. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
