Cherrilea is a three-bedroom detached house in Copthorne, Crawley, Crawley (RH10 3QX).

The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 sits 56.4% above the 2009 sale of £312,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 20.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
