How the estimate is made
The estimate for Mill Cottage is modelled from its 264 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 6LR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

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.

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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Mill Cottage is modelled from its 264 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 6LR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Mill Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Mill Cottage was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Mill Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP28 6LR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mill Cottage is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
