26 New Road, Hellingly, Hailsham, BN27 4EW

26 New Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hellingly, Hailsham, Hailsham (BN27 4EW). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
