Get started12 Holywell Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Playing Place, Truro, Truro (TR3 6EP). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2021 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2025) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in September 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £630,000 sits 296.2% above the 2021 sale of £159,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Last sale on file: £159,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
