Overview

About 1c

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1c is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Freckenham, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 8JB). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 111). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 45.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £311,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
