Overview

About 8 Lower Road

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

8 Lower Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Barnacle, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 9LD). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 42.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 34.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
