Overview

About 54 Station Road

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

54 Station Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lyminge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 8HP). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
