Overview

About 5 Bear Meadow

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

5 Bear Meadow is a four-bedroom detached house in Beyton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9HS). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Today's modelled estimate of £697,000 sits 50.7% above the 2007 sale of £462,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 5 Bear Meadow is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9HS. 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 5 Bear Meadow. 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 5 Bear Meadow was lodged in July 2018 at band D and is valid until July 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 5 Bear Meadow. 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 9HS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Bear Meadow is in council tax band F. 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.
