41 Benson Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1UY). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 2000, a hold of 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 222.8% above the 2000 sale of £105,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. At 81 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 29 EPCs).
