About 30 Barewell Road
30 Barewell Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 465.2% above the 1996 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 82.2% below the postcode norm.
