Overview

About 15a

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

15a is a three-bedroom detached house in Steeple Ashton, Trowbridge, Trowbridge (BA14 6EY). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £687,000 sits 92.2% above the 2009 sale of £357,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
