Overview

About 3 Carew Gardens

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

3 Carew Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL5 3PB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2023) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 is 36% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
