About 1 Bowerwood Cottages
1 Bowerwood Cottages is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Fordingbridge (SP6 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 138.7% above the 2009 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 65.9% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
