How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cargate Moat Cottage is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0AG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Cargate Moat Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Cargate Moat Cottage is a detached house in Bradfield St. George, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. 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 £398,000 sits 563.3% above the 1996 sale of £60,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Cargate Moat Cottage is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0AG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Cargate Moat Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cargate Moat Cottage was lodged in May 2014 at band G and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Cargate Moat Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from IP30 0AG. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Cargate Moat Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
