59 Withdean Crescent, Brighton, BN1 6WG

59 Withdean Crescent is a four-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6WG). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
