Get startedLower Home Farm is a seven-bedroom detached house in Sandridge Common, Melksham, Melksham (SN12 7QU). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 122 m² it sits well below the postcode median (259 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£655/sq ft) was about 96.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2021 for £860,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
Lower Home Farm's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
