About 1 Brittons Crescent

1 Brittons Crescent is a three-bedroom detached house in Barrow, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5AG). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
