About Thornleigh

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

Thornleigh is a detached house in Lyminge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 8HA). It has a recorded floor area of 313 m² (around 3369 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (April 2022) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in January 2022 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good.

It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 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 313 m² the property is well over the postcode median (152 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £1,028,000 sits 229.5% above the 2001 sale of £312,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 59.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
