About The Old Coach House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Old Coach House is a four-bedroom detached house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0ER). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £810,000 sits 94.2% above the 2009 sale of £417,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 46.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 152 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 5 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Old Coach House is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX3 0ER. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for The Old Coach House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Old Coach House was lodged in September 2025 at band C and is valid until September 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to The Old Coach House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX3 0ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Old Coach House is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
