About 1 Hill House
1 Hill House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Buckland Dinham, Frome, Frome (BA11 2QR). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1821 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 6 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). 16 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2006–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£417/sq ft) was about 117.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £760,000 in January 2023.
