About 3 Old Mill Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Old Mill Cottages is a detached house in Cockfield, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0LG). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2000 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (134 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 sits 320.6% above the 2000 sale of £97,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 78.9% below the postcode norm.

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 3 Old Mill Cottages is modelled from its 210 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0LG. 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 3 Old Mill Cottages. 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 3 Old Mill Cottages was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 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. None is matched to 3 Old Mill Cottages. 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. The 1 school and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP30 0LG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Old Mill Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
