1a, Devonshire Place, Bath, BA2 4SW
About 1a
1a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bath (BA2 4SW). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 83 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–166 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in October 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 711.8% above the 1997 sale of £42,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 63.7% below the postcode norm.
