Overview

About 3 Bishops Road

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

3 Bishops Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 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 £197,000 sits 411.7% above the 1998 sale of £38,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 26 EPCs).
