Overview

About Fern Cottage

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

Fern Cottage is a detached house in Rowhook, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 3PY). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £875,000 sits 207% above the 1999 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 41.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Fern Cottage is modelled from its 167 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH12 3PY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Fern Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Fern Cottage was lodged in August 2013 at band E and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Fern Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH12 3PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fern Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
