Overview

About 3 Rectory Meadow

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

3 Rectory Meadow is a three-bedroom detached house in Fornham All Saints, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6JR). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 10.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 80.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2022 for £315,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
