Overview

About Malting Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Malting Cottage is a detached house in Cockfield, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0LG). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on wood chips. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £523,000 sits 62.4% above the 2007 sale of £322,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Malting Cottage is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Malting Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

Council tax band
Malting 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.
