About Bella Vista
Bella Vista is a four-bedroom detached house in Etchinghill, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 8BX). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1240 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 is 11.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 89.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold February 2021 for £380,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
