Overview

About The Longbarn

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

The Longbarn is a semi-detached house in Nadderwater, Exeter, Exeter (EX4 2JE). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
