3 Almshouses is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Nowton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
