About Bryers Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bryers Farm is a four-bedroom detached house in Hawstead, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5NS). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 36). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £618,000 sits 51.8% above the 2007 sale of £407,225. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Bryers Farm is modelled from its 185 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5NS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Bryers Farm. 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 Bryers Farm was lodged in July 2014 at band G and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Bryers Farm. 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 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 5NS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bryers Farm is in council tax band E. 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.
