About 4 Folly Cottages

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

4 Folly Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Venton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL7 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Sold August 2021 for £275,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
