About Keepers Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Keepers Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Detling, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3JD). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on smokeless coal. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
