About 5 The Street
5 The Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Botesdale, Diss, Diss (IP22 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year.
