About 1 Elm Grove Road
1 Elm Grove Road is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 4LL). It has a recorded floor area of 236 m² (around 2540 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
At 236 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £734,000 sits 72.7% above the 2013 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm. 12 planning records sit against the property, 11 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
