About Maythorne
Maythorne is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Balcombe, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 6NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
