About This Property
This detached house is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH3 7DN. The property offers 282m² (3035 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.
