About Old High House

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

Old High House is a five-bedroom detached house in Kettlebaston, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 7QB). It has a recorded floor area of 287 m² (around 3094 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 43), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 287 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in May 2017.
