About 68 Alexandra Road
68 Alexandra Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ford, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL2 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 47), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
