About 1 Lovers Walk Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Lovers Walk Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6AN). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in May 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
