About Little Abbey Gate House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Little Abbey Gate House is a three-bedroom detached house in Maidstone (ME15 0PP). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £840,000 sits 61.5% above the 2007 sale of £520,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Little Abbey Gate House is modelled from its 177 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0PP. 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 Little Abbey Gate House. 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 Little Abbey Gate House was lodged in May 2025 at band D and is valid until May 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Little Abbey Gate House. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Little Abbey Gate House is in council tax band F. 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.
