Overview

About Heatherton House

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

Heatherton House is a four-bedroom detached house in Chalbury, Wimborne, Wimborne (BH21 7ET). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £593,000 sits 56.1% above the 2013 sale of £380,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in May 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
