About 1 Elizabethan House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Elizabethan House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Totnes (TQ9 5BY). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 96 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 94–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom.
Most recent transfer: July 2024 at £620,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£600/sq ft) was about 78.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Elizabethan House is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5BY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Elizabethan House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Elizabethan House was lodged in September 2014 at band F and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Elizabethan House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 5BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Elizabethan House is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
