About 1 College Road
1 College Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ardingly, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 6TU). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 78.9% above the 2003 sale of £242,000. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (168 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
