1 Arcadia Road, Christchurch, BH23 2JE

1 Arcadia Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 2JE). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£610/sq ft) was about 195.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold December 2022 for £420,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
