20 Cauldham Lane, Capel Le Ferne, Folkestone, CT18 7HG

20 Cauldham Lane is a semi-detached house in Capel-Le-Ferne, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 7HG). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 675 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 39), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 16 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. Across 2009–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 91.9% above the 2010 sale of £136,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
