About Bay Tree Cottage
Bay Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Redgrave, Diss, Diss (IP22 1RX). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold October 2020 for £500,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 13.6% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£553/sq ft) was about 181.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
