Overview

About Golden Grove

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

Golden Grove is a detached house in Rode, Frome, Frome (BA11 6PU). It has a recorded floor area of 344 m² (around 3703 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 344 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £805,000 sits 96.3% above the 2014 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 58.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
