2a, Palmer Street, Frome, BA11 1DS
About 2a
2a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Frome (BA11 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1311 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £376,000 in June 2019. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 is 16.2% above the 2019 sale price.
