Overview

About Holly Lodge Farm

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

Holly Lodge Farm is a two-bedroom detached house in Layham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 5JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 118), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 33.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 is 30.4% below the 2009 sale of £890,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,426/sq ft) was about 582.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
