Overview

About 23 Beards Road

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

23 Beards Road is a one-bedroom property in Fremington, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 2PG). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (34–145 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 46 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 21.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 38.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
