About 1 Barbers Row
1 Barbers Row is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9HG). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
