About 3 Botany Close
3 Botany Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Rustington, Littlehampton, Littlehampton (BN16 2BH). It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2686 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 48), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since August 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.
