Overview

About 8 The Grove

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

8 The Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4JB). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 601 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 sits 86.2% above the 2011 sale of £195,000. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 15 years ago, in September 2011.
