About 16 The Square

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

16 The Square is a three-bedroom detached house in Stonehouse, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL1 3JX). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump.

Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 143 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 16 EPCs).
