About 7 Wellcroft Cottages
7 Wellcroft Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Albourne, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
