About 1 Eaton Cottage
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.
