About Old Gardeners Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Old Gardeners Cottage is a detached house in Nowton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5LY). It has a recorded floor area of 362 m² (around 3901 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 362 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,004,000 is 48.2% above the 2009 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Old Gardeners Cottage is modelled from its 362 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 5LY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Old Gardeners 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 Old Gardeners Cottage was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 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. 5 applications are matched to Old Gardeners 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP29 5LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Old Gardeners Cottage is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
