21 Birchland Road is an end-of-terrace house in Sparkwell, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5DN).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 456.5% above the 1999 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
