5a, Stanford Terrace, Station Approach West, Hassocks, BN6 8JF
About 5a
5a is a mid-terrace house in Hassocks (BN6 8JF). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 321 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (30–132 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 277.8% above the 2000 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
