Overview

About Poppy Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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 £265,000 is 43.2% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Poppy Cottage is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 7BG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Poppy 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 Poppy Cottage was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Poppy 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 1 school and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 7BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Poppy 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.
