Overview

About 2 Barbers Row

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

2 Barbers Row is a semi-detached house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9HG). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1819 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2026) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 105). Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 38 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 1128.3% above the 1998 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 87.6% below the postcode norm.
