5 The Crescent, Brixton, Plymouth, PL8 2AP
About 5 The Crescent
5 The Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Brixton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2AP). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 788 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 sits 66.4% above the 2009 sale of £196,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 73 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 27 EPCs).
