About This Property
This semi-detached bungalow is located in CHRISTCHURCH, BH23 3RY. The property offers 64m² (689 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (79/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
