About Rook Lane House
Rook Lane House is a semi-detached house in Frome (BA11 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 281 m² (around 3025 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 281 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 13 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. 10 years since the last transfer (June 2016). Today's modelled estimate of £949,000 is 40.6% above the 2016 sale price.
