Overview

About 3 Howard Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Howard Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 sits 52.2% above the 2014 sale of £385,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 28.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
