Overview

About 1 Boxley Gardens

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

1 Boxley Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since July 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £535,000 sits 52.9% above the 2011 sale of £350,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Boxley Gardens is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 2BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Boxley Gardens. 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 1 Boxley Gardens was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Boxley Gardens. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 2BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Boxley Gardens is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
