4 Faraday Road, Ipswich, IP4 1PU
About 4 Faraday Road
4 Faraday Road is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1PU). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 is 21.1% below the 2008 sale of £365,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£807/sq ft) was about 457.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs).
