About 1c
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.
