About Grasmere
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £599,000 sits 368% 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.

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 Grasmere is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR6 6LY. 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 Grasmere. 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 Grasmere was lodged in September 2024 at band F and is valid until September 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Grasmere. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from WR6 6LY. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Grasmere is in council tax band F. 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.
