About 2 Poorhouse Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 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 65 m² (around 700 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 (May 2021) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 106), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
9 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in February 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 32.9% above the 2016 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Poorhouse Cottages is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4ED. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Poorhouse Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Poorhouse Cottages was lodged in May 2021 at band E and is valid until May 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to 2 Poorhouse Cottages. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 4ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Poorhouse Cottages is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
