About 10 Century Drive

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

10 Century Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a C (score 71).

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
