About 29 Birchwood Road

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

29 Birchwood Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Parkstone, Poole, Poole (BH14 9NW). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) returns a high B (score 90), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good.

Last sale on file: £820,000 in November 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused.
