About Gunbarn

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

Gunbarn is a five-bedroom detached house in Kingsfold, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 3SA). It has a recorded floor area of 220 m² (around 2368 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 220 m² the property is well over the postcode median (158 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,167,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £750,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
