About 8 The Grove

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

8 The Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Ratton, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 9DA). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1568 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
