About Barrington House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Barrington House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Barrington House, where floor areas span 40–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 24.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 80.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2010.
