Overview

About Brook Farm

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

Brook Farm is a six-bedroom detached house in Beyton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 480 m² (around 5167 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot.

Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,591,000 is 11.6% below the 2021 sale of £1,800,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 480 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 10 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Sold August 2021 for £1,800,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

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 Brook Farm is modelled from its 480 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9AQ. 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 Brook Farm. 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 Brook Farm was lodged in November 2021 at band F and is valid until November 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 10 applications are matched to Brook Farm. 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 1 school and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 9AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Brook Farm is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
