About 3 Kingston Lane

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

3 Kingston Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
