About 8 Cary Park Road
8 Cary Park Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 3PU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 142 m² it's 20.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (118 m² median across 32 EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 is 48.8% above the 2007 sale price.
