About 8 Charles Road
8 Charles Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Frome (BA11 1NT). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 91 m² it's 20.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 is 47.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£287/sq ft) was about 81.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
