3 Elmside, Exeter, EX4 6LR
About 3 Elmside
3 Elmside is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Exeter (EX4 6LR). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 568.5% above the 1996 sale of £71,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
