About 28 Palmer Grove
28 Palmer Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Semington, Trowbridge, Trowbridge (BA14 6LW). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £530,000 sits 79.7% above the 2009 sale of £295,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
