Overview

About 5 Old Road

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

5 Old Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brixton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 397 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60).
