About Forest Acre
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Forest Acre is a detached house in Bransgore, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in December 2006. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £745,000 sits 80.8% above the 2006 sale of £412,000. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
