Overview

About 2 Bells Corner Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Bells Corner Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hinderclay, Diss, Diss (IP22 1HW). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 862 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (154 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in July 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 is 30.7% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 129.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.
