About 2 Normans Cottages
2 Normans Cottages is a semi-detached house in Rusper, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4PX). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £399,000 is 27.5% below the 2022 sale of £550,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,043/sq ft) was about 221% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £550,000 in April 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
