About 49 Bridwell Road
49 Bridwell Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plymouth (PL5 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 sits 81.7% above the 2007 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm. At 143 m² it's 16.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (123 m² median across 20 EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2008.
