About Stone Cottage

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

Stone Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Colgate, Horsham, Horsham (RH12 4SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1817 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
