Overview

About The Old Post Office

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

The Old Post Office is a detached house in Brockley, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1655 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 sits 80.9% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 32.8% below the postcode norm. At 154 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
