It has a recorded floor area of 336 m² (around 3617 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band H. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 The Brow is modelled from its 336 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN20 0ER. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 5 sales are recorded for 5 The Brow. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 The Brow was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 The Brow. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from BN20 0ER. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 The Brow is in council tax band H. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
