About Cintra
Cintra is a six-bedroom detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1QE). It has a recorded floor area of 455 m² (around 4898 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
18 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 3 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 455 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,090,000 sits 118% above the 2014 sale of £499,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. On the market in March 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
