About 18 Whitethorn Road

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

18 Whitethorn Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Purdis Farm, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP3 8SS). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
