Overview

About 1 Gordon Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Gordon Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4DW). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2011. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 106.1% above the 2008 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 59.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: HMO conversion refused in 2024.
