About 1 Gilbert Road
1 Gilbert Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8SX). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
