About 16 Bishops Road

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

16 Bishops Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
