Overview

About Cherry Cottage

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

Cherry Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME14 4JX). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1502 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 197.7% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cherry Cottage is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 4JX. 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 Cherry Cottage. 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 Cherry Cottage was lodged in July 2009 at band D and expired in July 2019, 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. 7 applications are matched to Cherry Cottage. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME14 4JX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Cherry Cottage 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.
