About 7a
7a is an end-of-terrace house in Frome (BA11 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–157 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 24 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
