About 10 West Avenue

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

10 West Avenue is a one-bedroom detached house in Exeter (EX4 4SD). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (239 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
