Gorselands, Beaconsfield Road, Chelwood Gate, Haywards Heath, RH17 7LE

Gorselands is a detached house in Chelwood Gate, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 7LE). It has a recorded floor area of 337 m² (around 3627 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 337 m² the property is well over the postcode median (141 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,598,000 sits 55.9% above the 2009 sale of £1,025,000. 6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a basement excavation and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
