About 3 Drakes Court
3 Drakes Court is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1190 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a C (score 70).

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
