Local market context
The Old Vicarage is a six-bedroom detached house in Boxley, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3DX). It has a recorded floor area of 394 m² (around 4238 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
At 394 m² the property is well over the postcode median (212 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 19 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an annexe and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2007–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£490/sq ft) was about 96% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £2,075,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
