Overview

About 1 Poorhouse Cottages

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

1 Poorhouse Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hartest, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4ED). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 577 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
