About Hall Farmhouse
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hall Farmhouse is a detached house in Benacre, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 7LW). It has a recorded floor area of 409 m² (around 4402 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on wood chips.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £1,052,000 sits 116.9% above the 2007 sale of £485,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
