About 5 Cross Park
5 Cross Park is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in South Zeal, Okehampton, Okehampton (EX20 2JW). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 is 48% above the 2009 sale price.
