4 Ridgeway, Exeter, EX4 5AR
About 4 Ridgeway
4 Ridgeway is a three-bedroom detached house in Exeter (EX4 5AR). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 738 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 58.3% above the 2009 sale of £197,150. At 69 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
