About 8 Acre Cottages
8 Acre Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL1 4QS). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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.
