Mowbray, Asheldon Road, Torquay, TQ1 2QN
About Mowbray
Mowbray is a semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2QN). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 190 m² it's 17.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (231 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £537,000 sits 93.5% above the 2009 sale of £277,500. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2019. Past consents include partial demolition and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
