Kent House, Gallants Lane, East Farleigh, Maidstone, ME15 0LH

Kent House is a detached house in East Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0LH). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £688,000 is 48% above the 2005 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 25.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
