About 4 Almshouses
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Almshouses is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Nowton, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 is 17.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 28.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £265,000 in October 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
