Overview

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.
