About 5 Sussex Road
5 Sussex Road is a detached house in West Wickham (BR4 0JX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 935 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 87 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
