About 1 Bells Lane
1 Bells Lane is an end-of-terrace house in Glemsford, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 7QA). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in April 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 596% above the 1999 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 62.7% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
