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 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 68 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in Anscomb House, where floor areas span 66–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (24 versus a best of 70).

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. At 68 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 46 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 60.6% above the 2009 sale of £127,000.
