1 Kensington Place, Plymouth, PL4 7LX
About 1 Kensington Place
1 Kensington Place is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL4 7LX). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 39.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 25.7% below the postcode norm.
