Overview

About Old School House

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

Old School House is a four-bedroom detached house in Bildeston, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 7EP). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer: November 2020 at £445,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 143 m² it's 26.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 43% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
