Overview

About 1 Great Woodford Cottages

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

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. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 3-band jump. 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.

At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (147 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Great Woodford Cottages is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL7 4RP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Great Woodford Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Great Woodford Cottages was lodged in November 2014 at band G and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 Great Woodford Cottages. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL7 4RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Great Woodford Cottages is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
