3 Highfield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
