About Downey Cottage

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

Downey Cottage is a detached house in Barns Green, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 0PU). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
