About 4a

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

4a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–173 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
