About 1 Abbey Road

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

1 Abbey Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 7BG). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 135 m² it's 22.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017.
