About Trevale Farm
Trevale Farm is a five-bedroom detached house in Blackwater, Truro, Truro (TR4 8HB). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £836,000 sits 72.4% above the 2007 sale of £485,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 60.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2017. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 161 m² it's 28.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 4 EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
