About 3 Bristol & West House
3 Bristol & West House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH1 1BL). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. At 81 m² this is the 31st smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
