Overview

About 17 Castle Street

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

17 Castle Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wouldham, Rochester, Rochester (ME1 3UX). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Most recent transfer: January 2021 at £215,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 is 17.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£357/sq ft) was about 72.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
