Overview

About Drury House

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

Drury House is a five-bedroom detached house in Sicklesmere, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 278 m² (around 2991 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 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. At 278 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, tree works and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,085,000 is 31.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Drury House is modelled from its 278 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0BT. 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 Drury House. 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 Drury House was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 2019, 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. 5 applications are matched to Drury House. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 0BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
