About 2 Barracuda Flats
2 Barracuda Flats is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in East Looe, Looe, Looe (PL13 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–59 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 65.9% above the 2021 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 20.7% below the postcode norm. At 36 m² it's 21.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (46 m² median across 11 EPCs). Last sale on file: £82,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
