About 1 Cross Street
1 Cross Street is a two-bedroom detached house in Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9TP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 50.5% above the 2020 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2023. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (161 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold December 2020 for £190,000.
