Local market context
2 Amberwood House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Walkford, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5RT). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 573 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 is 37.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£402/sq ft) was about 37.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
2 Amberwood House's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.
