About Grafton House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Grafton House is a six-bedroom detached house in Grafton, Hereford, Hereford (HR2 8BL). It has a recorded floor area of 301 m² (around 3240 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
At 301 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 sits 58% above the 2020 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 41.3% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow 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 Grafton House is modelled from its 301 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HR2 8BL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Grafton House. 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 Grafton House was lodged in October 2014 at band F and expired in October 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to Grafton House. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HR2 8BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Grafton House is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
