About 3 Highfield

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

3 Highfield is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 38 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £266,000 is 41.9% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 30.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in August 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2002.
