About 2 Barrack Yard Cottages
2 Barrack Yard Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gasthorpe, Diss, Diss (IP22 2TL).

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 19.6% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
