About 1 Stone Cottages
1 Stone Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 50.4% above the 2007 sale of £250,000.
