About 6 Coast Guard Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Coast Guard Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Herne Bay (CT6 8BD). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 56% above the 2008 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 81 m² it's 28.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
