Local market context
17 Charles Melrose Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
