About Sparrows Farm House
Sparrows Farm House is a four-bedroom detached house in Cockfield, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0HE). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2264 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (135 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £782,000 is 36% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£254/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
