The estimate for The Gate Lodge is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1HL. 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.

The Gate Lodge is a semi-detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 1HL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across The Gate Lodge (51–122 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (55 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in August 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 sits 349.9% above the 1998 sale of £38,450. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 73.7% below the postcode norm. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
