Overview

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 (173 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £795,000 sits 138.9% 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.
