Overview

About Ebford Cottage

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

Ebford Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Ebford, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0QT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1183 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

At 110 m² it sits well below the postcode median (166 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £862,000 is 37.9% above the 2016 sale price.
