Overview

About 4 Abbots Close

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

4 Abbots Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Denham, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 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 £295,000 sits 285.6% above the 2001 sale of £76,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 79% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
