About Somerset House
Somerset House is an end-of-terrace house in Cheltenham (GL50 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 87 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Somerset House (34–87 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 26 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 139.7% above the 2009 sale of £78,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 37.9% below the postcode norm.
