About Starlight
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Starlight is a four-bedroom detached house in Kingswear, Dartmouth, Dartmouth (TQ6 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
At 167 m² it sits well below the postcode median (255 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £891,000 is 49.7% above the 2016 sale price.
