About Rookery Farm

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

Rookery Farm is an end-of-terrace house in Porthtowan, Truro, Truro (TR4 8TY). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £600,000 in July 2022.
