About 8 Gorse Road

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

8 Gorse Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Corfe Mullen, Wimborne, Wimborne (BH21 3SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1589 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68).

Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in August 2002. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £584,000 sits 79.7% above the 2002 sale of £324,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
