About 20 Bowden Close
20 Bowden Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS9 2RW). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£412/sq ft) was about 73.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2022 for £630,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
