The Haven, Ford Park Road, Plymouth, PL4 6RB

The Haven is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL4 6RB). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1430 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 3 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 301.1% above the 1997 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 52.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, HMO conversion and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
