Overview

About Priory Cottage

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

Priory Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Gedding, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0QE). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1086 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where sold prices come from
