About 1 Orcheston Road
1 Orcheston Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 85 m² this is the 10th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 69). Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 85 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 is 42.2% above the 2014 sale price.
