Overview

About 42 Canterbury Road

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

42 Canterbury Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hawkinge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 7BP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 4-band jump.

At 72 m² it's 24.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 23 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 77.6% above the 2013 sale of £165,000.
