3 Molesworth Road is a mid-terrace house in Stoke, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL1 5LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 181.6% above the 2022 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 48.5% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £62,500. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
