Overview

About The Retreat

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

The Retreat is a detached house in Ashurst, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7AN). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 65 m² it's 27.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018.
