About Powswood

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

Powswood is a detached house in Bath (BA2 4QY). It has a recorded floor area of 369 m² (around 3972 sq ft). The latest certificate (April 2020) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Held since April 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.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £2,864,000 sits 445.5% above the 2007 sale of £525,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 71% below the postcode norm. 17 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
