About Arden House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Arden House is a three-bedroom detached house in Little Blakenham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP8 4NG). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 is 46.3% above the 2008 sale price.
