About Bridge House

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

Bridge House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 27 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Bridge House, where floor areas span 23–38 m². On EPC score it ranks first in the building (52 versus a worst of 40). The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
