18 Dunstone Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Higher St. Budeaux, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 2HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 sits 98.6% above the 2011 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 53.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
