Monks Retreat is a detached house in Monkton Combe, Bath, Bath (BA2 7EX). It has a recorded floor area of 648 m² (around 6974 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Monks Retreat is modelled from its 648 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BA2 7EX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. No sale is recorded for Monks Retreat, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Monks Retreat was lodged in April 2009 at band F and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 10 applications are matched to Monks Retreat. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BA2 7EX, not by walking route.
