Overview

About 5 Simpson Way

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

5 Simpson Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barrow, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5EA). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 126). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 70 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2015–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 is 13.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£349/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
