About Curlew Cottage
Curlew Cottage is an end-of-terrace house in Newton Ferrers, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1307 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 121 m² it's 17.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (147 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £749,000 sits 87.3% above the 2009 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 43.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
