Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a four-bedroom detached house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9UH). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 47 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 sits 85.8% above the 2009 sale of £197,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 18.4% below the postcode norm.
