About 1 Folly Cottages
1 Folly Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Venton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 752 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a G (score 11), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 54% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
