About Barrington House
Barrington House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 2nd 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 top. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year.

Sold February 2021 for £121,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
