Overview

About 6 Athenaeum Lane

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

6 Athenaeum Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1LY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 1999, a hold of 27 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. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 298.3% above the 1999 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 61.3% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 11 EPCs).
