1a is a five-bedroom detached house in Chevington, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 5QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2185 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
