Get started226 is a detached house in Little Chalfield, Melksham, Melksham (SN12 8NN). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 374 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–190 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (73 versus a worst of 48). The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £452,000 is 63.5% below the 2020 sale of £1,240,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, partial demolition and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold November 2020 for £1,240,000.
