Overview

About 1 Beach Road

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

1 Beach Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 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 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 63% above the 2007 sale of £216,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. At 123 m² it's 23.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 20 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
