Torrington Place, Kenton EX6: a former Tepilo listing

Historical listing archive: A three-bedroom property in Torrington Place, Kenton, Devon was advertised through Tepilo in 2018. It is not currently for sale through Tepilo. The original asking price, house number and full sales particulars have not been recovered, so this page must not be treated as a current listing, valuation or description of any particular home.

This page preserves what can be verified about Tepilo listing number 42586. The former listing was for a property in Torrington Place, Kenton, Exeter, Devon EX6 and contemporary national coverage described it as a three-bedroom house selected by Sarah Beeny as a property bargain.

The exact Tepilo page was not captured by the Internet Archive. Later property records show several homes in Torrington Place, including more than one three-bedroom property. We have therefore not attached a number, historic sale record, present-day advertisement or set of room measurements to this archive.

What we can verify

The Daily Mail headline is evidence that the listing existed and received contemporary editorial attention. It is not sufficient evidence for an exact house number, asking price, tenure, floor area, condition or room layout.

What has not been recovered

The surviving evidence does not reliably establish:

• the property's house number or name
• the original asking price or guide price
• whether the property was terraced, semi-detached or detached
• the number of bathrooms and reception rooms
• the tenure
• the room measurements or total floor area
• the Energy Performance Certificate rating
• the council tax band
• parking, access or garden arrangements
• the fixtures and fittings included in the sale
• the seller's description or reason for moving
• whether or when the property subsequently sold
• the identity of any current owner or occupier
• the property's current condition, availability or value

Those gaps are intentional. Information from another property in the street would make the page look more complete, but it could also make it wrong.

Why the exact property cannot safely be inferred

Torrington Place has several separately registered homes. Current public property pages include multiple terraced and semi-detached houses, several with three bedrooms, as well as individually named properties.

The old Tepilo URL gives only the street, village and postcode district. It does not contain a house number. A later listing for a three-bedroom cottage in Torrington Place cannot automatically be assumed to be the same home. Bedrooms may also be reconfigured over time, and a property described as having two bedrooms in one transaction may be marketed differently in another.

For the same reason, this page does not connect listing 42586 to a particular Land Registry transaction. Address-level matching would require stronger evidence, such as the original Tepilo particulars, a licensed floorplan, a dated brochure or an archived page showing the full address.

Why the listing attracted attention

The strongest surviving backlink is from a Daily Mail property article whose headline described Sarah Beeny picking a three-bedroom Devon house as a property bargain. That editorial link points to the exact former Tepilo URL.

The coverage gives the old page historical and SEO significance. It does not prove that the house would be considered a bargain today. Property prices, mortgage rates, condition, local demand and the circumstances of a sale all change over time.

Any reference to the home as a bargain must therefore remain clearly attached to the 2018 coverage. It should not be reused as a present-day valuation claim.

About Torrington Place and Kenton

Torrington Place is in the village of Kenton, near Exeter in Devon. The complete street postcode shown by current property records is EX6 8NF.

Kenton Parish Council describes Kenton as a small village near Exeter. The village is associated with Powderham Castle and the 14th-century All Saints Church, whose red sandstone architecture is one of Kenton's best-known features.

Current property records show a mixture of period and later homes in Torrington Place. The street sits close to the village centre, but the position, outlook and access arrangements will differ from one property to another.

Kenton is also a designated conservation area. This can affect some types of development and work, but the designation must be checked against the boundary for the individual address. A reference to Kenton generally is not proof that every property in Torrington Place falls inside the conservation area or is subject to the same restrictions.

Starcross is the nearest railway station commonly associated with properties in Kenton. National Rail identifies it as a Great Western Railway-managed station. Routes, timetables, accessibility and local bus connections should be checked using current information rather than an old sales description.

If you are researching a home in Torrington Place today

This archive cannot replace present-day due diligence. For a specific property, start with its full postal address and check:

1. The title register and title plan. Confirm the registered tenure, boundaries, rights and restrictions for the individual home.
2. The current sales particulars. Check the rooms, dimensions, fixtures, parking and outside space against the property being offered.
3. The Energy Performance Certificate. Use the current certificate rather than an old portal entry.
4. The conservation-area boundary. Check the address on the local planning authority's map and ask whether any Article 4 direction or other restriction applies.
5. Planning and building-control history. Establish whether extensions, conversions or structural alterations have the necessary records.
6. Flood and environmental information. Use address-level data and an appropriate conveyancing search.
7. An appropriate survey. Period cottages can have construction, damp, roof, drainage and alteration issues that are not apparent in marketing photographs.
8. Current transport and local services. Timetables, shops, schools and other facilities can change.

Do not use a street-level average or a neighbouring sale as a substitute for valuing the particular property. Even similar homes can differ materially in floor area, condition, outlook, garden, parking and legal title.

Could the missing details be restored later?

Yes, but only if reliable evidence becomes available. Suitable evidence could include:

• a copy of the original Tepilo page or brochure
• a dated PDF containing listing number 42586
• licensed photographs whose source and date can be confirmed
• a floorplan carrying the listing address or reference
• the original seller's retained particulars
• a contemporaneous article that reproduces the key specifications

If stronger evidence is found, add only the facts it directly supports. Record the source and date, keep the historical notice prominent and do not convert the archive into a current sales listing.

Sources and record notes

This archive was reconstructed on 28 August 2026 from:

• the former Tepilo URL in the backlink recovery record
• the contemporary Daily Mail property article
• Rightmove's sold-price records for Torrington Place
• Zoopla's property records for Torrington Place, EX6 8NF
• Kenton Parish Council's village information
• Teignbridge District Council's conservation-area character appraisals
• National Rail's current Starcross station information

The Tepilo page itself is not available in the Internet Archive. The Daily Mail URL and title support the three-bedroom description and the fact of contemporary coverage. Rightmove and Zoopla were used only to show why an exact property match cannot safely be made. They do not identify the old Tepilo listing.
