1 Clare Lodge Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bransgore, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 890 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump.
