15 Abbey Road, Barnstaple, EX31 1QY
About 15 Abbey Road
15 Abbey Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Barnstaple (EX31 1QY). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1095 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 102 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 42.4% above the 2008 sale price.
