Overview

About Old Post Office

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

Old Post Office is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hitcham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 7NF). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 677 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2012–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 43.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 79.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
