About The Agents House
The Agents House is a five-bedroom detached house in Fornham St. Genevieve, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6TT). It has a recorded floor area of 303 m² (around 3261 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
