About 4 Bennett Road
4 Bennett Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8QF). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 942 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
