Poppy Cottage, Main Street, Blackawton, Totnes, TQ9 7BG

Poppy Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackawton, Totnes, Totnes (TQ9 7BG). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2015. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 75 m² it's 26.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 15 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 31.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
