About Sunny Ridge
Sunny Ridge is a two-bedroom detached house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 814 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
