9 Ashbee Gardens, Herne Bay, CT6 6TY

9 Ashbee Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Herne Bay (CT6 6TY). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1525 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £538,000 sits 54.8% above the 2009 sale of £347,500.
