The Chantry, Gentle Street, Frome, BA11 1JA
About The Chantry
The Chantry is a mid-terrace house in Frome (BA11 1JA). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2219 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (135 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £779,000 sits 57.4% above the 2009 sale of £495,000. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2024. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
