About The Bungalow
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Bungalow is a detached house in Cockfield, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0HE). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 98.9% above the 2011 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm. At 109 m² it sits well below the postcode median (165 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.
