5 Penparcau Road, Penparcau, Aberystwyth, SY23 1BP

5 Penparcau Road is a detached house in Penparcau, Aberystwyth, Aberystwyth (SY23 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1999 — that's 27 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 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 248.9% above the 1999 sale of £94,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 57.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
