About Sunnyside Cottage
Sunnyside Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Palgrave, Diss, Diss (IP22 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 894 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £326,000 sits 141.5% above the 1999 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 83 m² it's 29.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (118 m² median across 8 EPCs).
