Overview

About 1 Eaton Cottage

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

1 Eaton Cottage is a semi-detached house in Somerton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4NF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 791 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 52.3% above the 2009 sale of £199,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Eaton Cottage is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4NF. 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 1 Eaton Cottage. 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 1 Eaton Cottage was lodged in March 2009 at band F and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 Eaton 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. The 1 school and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 4NF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
