About Mill Cottage
Mill Cottage is a detached house in Hengrave, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6LR). It has a recorded floor area of 264 m² (around 2842 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 264 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £839,000 sits 56.8% above the 2015 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
