Overview

About 5 Beeches Road

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

5 Beeches Road is a five-bedroom detached house in West Row, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 8NP). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since February 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 191 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 363% above the 1998 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 67.5% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused.
