Overview

About 2 Cairo Cottages

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Cairo Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwater, Horsham, Horsham (RH13 9HW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 is 46.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£378/sq ft) was about 42.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
