About Poyntz House
Poyntz House is a detached house in Mells, Frome, Frome (BA11 3PT). It has a recorded floor area of 294 m² (around 3165 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), 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.
At 294 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2024. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
