Stumblewood is a detached house in Horsted Keynes, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 7DH). It has a recorded floor area of 286 m² (around 3078 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
