IP14 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP14 (Stowmarket). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical IP14 1 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP14 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.3% | −16.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 65 IP14 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 220 sales a year recently, against 274 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around IP14 1
IP14 1 falls under Mid Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,570 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £240,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the IP14 1 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within IP14, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
Are IP14 1 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 26% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Bedroom by bedroom: IP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IP area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £252,000 (+17%) | £295,000 (+17%) | £380,750 (+29%) | £527,500 (+39%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
