Overview

About 47 Bretonside

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

47 Bretonside is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 41 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (72 versus a worst of 1). The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good.

It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 95.7% above the 2001 sale of £70,000. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
