Overview

About 3 Orchard Farm Barns

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

3 Orchard Farm Barns is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barrow, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 104), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 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 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 83.5% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 20.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Orchard Farm Barns is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5AJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Orchard Farm Barns. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Orchard Farm Barns was lodged in December 2019 at band C and is valid until December 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Orchard Farm Barns. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 5AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Orchard Farm Barns is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
