About Puddleduck Garden
Puddleduck Garden is a three-bedroom detached house in Acton, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 0AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
10 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £672,000 is 38.6% above the 2015 sale price.
