Overview

About 8 Drinkstone Road

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

8 Drinkstone Road is a semi-detached house in Gedding, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0QB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 149.5% above the 2007 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 27.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 25.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 6 EPCs).
