How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Colegate Drive is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4DP. 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.

About 4 Colegate Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Colegate Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£496/sq ft) was about 198.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: November 2020 at £550,000.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Colegate Drive is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4DP. 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.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Colegate Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Colegate Drive was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Colegate Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Colegate Drive is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
