About The Gables

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

The Gables is a detached house in Hessett, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
