About Bolster Farm
Bolster Farm is a detached house in St Agnes (TR5 0NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £863,000 is 10.1% below the 2017 sale of £960,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£547/sq ft) was about 107.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
