About School House
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.

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.
