Overview

About 4 Birchington Close

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

4 Birchington Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Maidstone (ME14 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
