1 Orchard Cottages, Ashprington, Totnes, TQ9 7UY

1 Orchard Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashprington, Totnes, Totnes (TQ9 7UY). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -37.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £402,000 sits 168% above the 2008 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 69.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
