Overview

About Sunny Ridge

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

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. At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 33.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 18.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
