11 Kingsgate Drive, Ipswich, IP4 4DL

11 Kingsgate Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 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 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 66% above the 2007 sale of £206,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm.
