8 Lyddicleave, Bickington, Barnstaple, EX31 2JY

8 Lyddicleave is a two-bedroom detached house in Bickington, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 2JY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in June 2013. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 is 48.9% above the 2013 sale price.
