About Lark Rise
Lark Rise is a detached house in Freckenham, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 8JD). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
