Overview

About 1 Moat Cottage

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

1 Moat Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Mettingham, Bungay, Bungay (NR35 1TH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 111), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since November 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 sits 67.8% above the 2004 sale of £174,000. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (353 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
