Local market context
School House is a semi-detached house in Chevington, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5QH). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 11 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
