About Limetree Barn
Limetree Barn is a four-bedroom detached house in Hunton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0QU). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 200 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,000,000 is 40.8% above the 2007 sale price. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2005.
