About Old Rectory

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

Old Rectory is a detached house in Hartest, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 500 m² (around 5382 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,453,000 is 38.2% below the 2021 sale of £2,350,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 61.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 500 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2007. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £2,350,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
