Overview

About 23 Bosvean Road

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

23 Bosvean Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Shortlanesend, Truro, Truro (TR4 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 2011–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 38.5% above the 2017 sale price.
