Overview

About 1 Bickham Road

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

1 Bickham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL5 1SA). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 sits 79.6% above the 2009 sale of £142,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm.
