About 2 The Pound
2 The Pound is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hawstead, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 119), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 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. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 246.1% above the 1998 sale of £83,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm.
