About Old Police House
Old Police House is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Timsbury, Bath, Bath (BA2 0HT). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £490,000 is 44.1% above the 2007 sale price.
