Overview

About 4 Field Close

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

4 Field Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9TT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Field Close is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9TT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Field Close. 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 4 Field Close was lodged in November 2014 at band F and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Field Close. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 9TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
