About Old Chellows Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Old Chellows Cottage is a detached house in Rusper, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4RG). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £820,000 sits 57.7% above the 2009 sale of £520,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£619/sq ft) was about 102.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (175 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
