About Brixton School House

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

Brixton School House is a four-bedroom detached house in Brixton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
