5a, Church Street, Littlehampton, BN17 5EL
About 5a
5a is a one-bedroom detached house in Littlehampton (BN17 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 58 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file.
One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 22.2% above the 2017 sale price.
