About Hollycroft
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hollycroft is a four-bedroom detached house in Cowfold, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 274 m² (around 2949 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2017 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since May 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 274 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £754,000 sits 126.6% above the 2009 sale of £332,750. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Hollycroft is modelled from its 274 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RH13 8BE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Hollycroft. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Hollycroft was lodged in February 2017 at band D and is valid until February 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Hollycroft. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH13 8BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Hollycroft is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
