About Barrington House
Barrington House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 112 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Barrington House (40–112 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold June 2021 for £145,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 is 38.6% above the 2021 sale price. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2010.
