About 20 Wellesley Road
20 Wellesley Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1PP). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2003, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 103.9% above the 2003 sale of £153,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
