About Globe Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Globe Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5PX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91).
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 60.7% above the 2007 sale of £201,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Globe Cottage is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5PX. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Globe Cottage. 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 Globe Cottage was lodged in March 2025 at band C and is valid until March 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Globe Cottage. 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 5PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Globe Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
