Little Orchard is a four-bedroom detached house in Rusper, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4RW). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since August 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. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £973,000 sits 111.5% above the 2009 sale of £460,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
Little Orchard's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
