About 1 The Drift

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 The Drift is a semi-detached house in Culford, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6DR). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 50.2% above the 2006 sale of £227,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003.
