About 8 Cooks Road

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

8 Cooks Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9DB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
