About 17 Windmill Lane
17 Windmill Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 31.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in July 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
