Overview

About 6 Adelaide Cottages

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

6 Adelaide Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in East Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0JN). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump.

Held since November 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 sits 66.3% above the 2006 sale of £193,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 87 m² it's 24.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
