About 29 Churchgate Street
29 Churchgate Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1RG). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.
