Local market context
1 The Old Corn Stores is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4EW). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 48 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (48–90 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
