About Poppies
Poppies is a three-bedroom detached house in Diss (IP22 5SR). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (148 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold January 2023 for £540,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
