Treetops, Merrifield, Wimborne, BH21 7AJ

Treetops is a six-bedroom detached house in Wimborne (BH21 7AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 331 m² (around 3563 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
