About 35 Lark Valley Drive
35 Lark Valley Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Fornham St. Martin, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 237 m² (around 2551 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 237 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £757,000 is 44.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
