Overview

About 6 Heanton Lea

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

6 Heanton Lea is a mid-terrace house in Chivenor, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 4BX). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 280.8% above the 1998 sale of £52,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 75.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
