About Kerves Farmhouse
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Kerves Farmhouse is a detached house in Horsham (RH13 6RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 206 m² it's 17.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (175 m² median across 15 EPCs). Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £985,000 is 11.9% above the 2017 sale price.
