About 1 Great Woodford Cottages
1 Great Woodford Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Plympton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 4RP). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.

Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
