About The Old Coach House
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 16 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 £862,000 sits 106.7% 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).
