About Grasmere
Grasmere is a five-bedroom detached house in Holt Heath, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 6LY). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 sits 383.6% above the 1996 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 69.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.
