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 88 m² (around 947 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
