Get startedForge House is a four-bedroom detached house in Alkham, Dover, Dover (CT15 7EL). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 123 m² it sits well below the postcode median (197 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 558.7% above the 1995 sale of £63,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 73.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
