About 14 Church Road
14 Church Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Polegate (BN26 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 50.8% above the 2009 sale of £236,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 58.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2015. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
