Overview

About Freshfield Place

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

Freshfield Place is a detached house in Scaynes Hill, Haywards Heath, Haywards Heath (RH17 7NP). It has a recorded floor area of 552 m² (around 5942 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 552 m² the property is well over the postcode median (144 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
