About Clovelly
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Clovelly is a two-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 4JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 546 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Clovelly (51–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 22.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 65.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 22 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Clovelly is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 4JQ. 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. 6 sales are recorded for Clovelly. 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 Clovelly was lodged in October 2010 at band D and expired in October 2020, 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 Clovelly. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 4JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Clovelly is in council tax band B. 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.
