Overview

About Shepherds Cottage

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

Shepherds Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Kersey, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6HB). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 573.1% above the 1998 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 79.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 138 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Shepherds Cottage is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 6HB. 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 Shepherds Cottage. 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 Shepherds Cottage was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Shepherds Cottage. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP7 6HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Shepherds Cottage is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
