Overview

About Western Lodge

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

Western Lodge is a four-bedroom detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2AW). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft). The latest certificate (January 2016) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). The latest certificate is from January 2016, 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.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £712,000 is 27.1% above the 2016 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Western Lodge is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 2AW. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Western Lodge. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Western Lodge was lodged in January 2016 at band B and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Western Lodge. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 2AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
