Overview

About 2 Barton Cottages

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

2 Barton Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 5BU). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 51.2% above the 2008 sale of £160,000.
