About Holly Lodge
Holly Lodge is a detached house in Hopton, Diss, Diss (IP22 2QX). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £585,000 sits 261.1% above the 1995 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 44.7% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
