About 1 The Crescent
1 The Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Brixton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2AP). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2025) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 94). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since June 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 81.6% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 17.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
