Pillbox Farm is a detached house in Hengrave, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6LR). It has a recorded floor area of 316 m² (around 3401 sq ft). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,009,000 is 41.3% below the 2025 sale of £1,720,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

At 316 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
