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.
