Overview

About 20 Queens Road

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

20 Queens Road is a semi-detached house in Higher St. Budeaux, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL5 2NN). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
