Flat 4, 7 Barnoon Terrace, St Ives, TR26 1JE

Flat 4 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Ives (TR26 1JE). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 38 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 is 18.3% above the 2009 sale price.
