About The House In The Orchard

The House In The Orchard is a four-bedroom detached house in Broadbridge Heath, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 3JA). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
