About 5 Ashmead
5 Ashmead is a mid-terrace house in Trowbridge (BA14 0PA). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 78 m² it's 25.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 29 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 is 44.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
