About Blue Bell Cottage
Blue Bell Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Blo Norton, Diss, Diss (IP22 2JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 55.9% above the 2009 sale of £270,000.
