About Prebbles

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

Prebbles is a three-bedroom detached house in Fremington, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since March 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
