18 Abbey Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Kenilworth (CV8 1LU). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (October 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump.

At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 50.8% above the 2017 sale of £260,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, new windows and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
