IP14 2 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.

Today's IP14 2 prices, from the sold record

The 2026 median for IP14 2 is £285,000, taken from 37 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £321,200, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in IP14 2

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in IP14 2 costs about £3,320 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts IP14 2 0% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical IP14 2 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 185%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2010 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What IP14 2 has returned, per year

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.

Sales activity in IP14 2

The register shows 37 IP14 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around IP14 2

For renting purposes IP14 2 sits in Mid Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £712 a month here against £1,570 for four or more bedrooms.

£994 a month is £11,928 a year, which against the £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What kind of market IP14 2 is

Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IP14 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What people ask about IP14 2 (Stowupland)

Are IP14 2 prices heading up or down?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
