About Drury House
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 £1,112,000 is 34.8% 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.
