About 29 Celestion Drive
29 Celestion Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 8GF). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 47 m² this is the 7th smallest of 44 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–146 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 44 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 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 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
