16 Shieling Road, Bickington, Barnstaple, EX31 2LY

16 Shieling Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bickington, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 2LY). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in May 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 sits 308% above the 2001 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 75.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
