About 20 Molesworth Road
20 Molesworth Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4NT). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–144 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 32 units on file.

The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
