Overview

About 1 Highfield Drive

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

1 Highfield Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £788,000 sits 135.2% above the 2002 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 48.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
