Overview

About 23 Becklake Close

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

23 Becklake Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Roundswell, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 3UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 114 m² it's 24% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 14 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode.
