About Grasmere
Grasmere is a three-bedroom detached house in Nadderwater, Exeter, Exeter (EX4 2JE). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
At 215 m² the property is well over the postcode median (163 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £713,000 sits 74.8% above the 2011 sale of £408,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
