Overview

About 18 Birchwood Road

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

18 Birchwood Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Parkstone, Poole, Poole (BH14 9NP). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a C (score 74).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
