Overview

About Old Rectory Drive

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

Old Rectory Drive is a detached house in St Columb (TR9 6BY). It has a recorded floor area of 439 m² (around 4725 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 439 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £925,000 sits 92.7% above the 2009 sale of £480,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
