Overview

About 49 Bishops Road

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

49 Bishops Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since February 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 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 sits 69.3% above the 2009 sale of £172,500.
