The Lighthouse is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 151 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across The Lighthouse (72–151 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 is 34.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm.
