About Kingfisher House

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

Kingfisher House is a four-bedroom detached house in Barrow, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5AF). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 44), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 16 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 £460,000 is 26% above the 2014 sale price.
