About Rivulet House
Rivulet House is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lyminge, Folkestone, Folkestone (CT18 8HT). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £525,000 sits 55.8% above the 2015 sale of £337,000. One planning record on file: solar panel installation approved in 2011.

Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
