Bartholomew House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Bartholomew House (40–119 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 80). The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£581/sq ft) was about 225.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
