Overview

About Anscomb House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Anscomb House is a two-bedroom detached house in Saltdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 8DB). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 64 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Anscomb House (64–72 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 52.8% above the 2009 sale of £127,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm.
