About The Post Office Stores

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

The Post Office Stores is a property in Wortham, Diss, Diss (IP22 1PP). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£353/sq ft) was about 98.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 79 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 11 EPCs).
