Overview

About Mells Valley House

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

Mells Valley House is a detached house in Great Elm, Frome, Frome (BA11 3NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 286 m² (around 3078 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,082,000 is 13.4% below the 2023 sale of £1,250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2021. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £1,250,000 in August 2023.
