About 18 Highfield Drive

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

18 Highfield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Other recorded features include notable views.
