About Mill Cottage

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

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.

Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £846,000 sits 58.1% above the 2015 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 15.9% 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.
