About The Old Queens
The Old Queens is a four-bedroom detached house in Wortham, Diss, Diss (IP22 1PP). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £682,000 sits 62.4% above the 2015 sale of £420,000. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in June 2015.
