About Elmhurst
Elmhurst is a detached house in Trowbridge (BA14 7JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Elmhurst, where floor areas span 61–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 72.3% below the 2015 sale of £650,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£974/sq ft) was about 277.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in September 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
