About 22 Princess Avenue
22 Princess Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Christchurch (BH23 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 779 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018.
