About 3 Elm Cottages

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

3 Elm Cottages is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Windmill Hill, Hailsham, Hailsham (BN27 4RT). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1525 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a porch, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in February 2013. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year.
