How the estimate is made
The estimate for Snowdrop Cottage is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4LH. 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.

About Snowdrop Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Snowdrop Cottage is a semi-detached house in Boxted, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (155 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.

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 Snowdrop Cottage is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4LH. 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. No sale is recorded for Snowdrop Cottage, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Snowdrop Cottage was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Snowdrop Cottage. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from IP29 4LH. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
