About 3 The Retreat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 The Retreat is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Christchurch (BH23 1FE). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
