Local market context
Farthings is a detached house in Cockfield, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0LG). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1902 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900.

When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
