About 2 Bunyan Cottage
2 Bunyan Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Long Melford, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 9JF). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1017 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in November 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years. Across 2010–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 100.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 is 24.7% above the 2011 sale price.
