Local market context
5a is a detached house in Gillingham, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0LH). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019.
