About 1a
1a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watton, Thetford, Thetford (IP25 6DA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). Main heating runs on biomass.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
