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 67 m² (around 721 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 is 35.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 199.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
