About Dingley Knoll
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Dingley Knoll is a four-bedroom detached house in Sandling, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 180% above the 2001 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 31.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
