Overview

About 23 Acacia Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Acacia Drive is a detached house in Frome (BA11 2TS). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 sits 68.5% above the 2010 sale of £273,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 21.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 125 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
