About Penthouse
Penthouse is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Looe (PL13 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2011); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 77 m² it's 22.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 27.7% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 29.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
