Overview

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.
