Lodge Barn Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Fornham All Saints, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6JX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in May 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 sits 213.9% above the 2000 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 49.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2008. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 101 m² it's 24.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (135 m² median across 8 EPCs).
Lodge Barn Cottage's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
