Overview

About Kent House

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

Kent House is a detached house in East Farleigh, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0LH). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £737,000 sits 58.5% above the 2005 sale of £465,000. 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.
