About Elm Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Elm Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Coolham, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 8QD). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1537 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 11 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 143 m² it's 21.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 6 EPCs). Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £736,000 is 47.2% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 152.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Elm Cottage is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RH13 8QD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Elm Cottage. 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 Elm Cottage was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 11 applications are matched to Elm Cottage. 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 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RH13 8QD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Elm Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
