About 25 Church Road
25 Church Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4QY). It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2686 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £559,000 is 31.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 20.4% below the postcode norm.
