About 1 Albourne Place Farm Cottage

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

1 Albourne Place Farm Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Albourne, Hassocks, Hassocks (BN6 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
