About Bathurst
Bathurst is a detached house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1DE). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £443,000 is 45.2% above the 2014 sale price.
