Overview

About 18 Northdown Close

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

18 Northdown Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 44.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008.
