Overview

About Laurel Cottage

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

Laurel Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Rusper, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4PR). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2336 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2026. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
