Overview

About 1 Waterworks Cottages

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

1 Waterworks Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Boxley, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 2003–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £562,000 is 40.1% above the 2016 sale price.
