About Sunnylea
Sunnylea is a three-bedroom detached house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 is 47.9% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
