About This Property

This detached house is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH7 6HS. The property offers 91m² (980 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1394, comprising £1130 for heating, £188 for hot water, and £76 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2025 for £200,000.
