Overview

About 1 Church Close

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

1 Church Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN20 9QY). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 62.6% above the 2014 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 33.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
