The estimate for 1 Thurnham Oast is modelled from its 198 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 3LL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

1 Thurnham Oast is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Thurnham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 3LL). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in August 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £775,000 sits 229.8% above the 1998 sale of £235,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
The EPC has just been inspected, so the rating reflects current condition.
