About 21 Bensted Close
21 Bensted Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hunton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 0SD). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1330 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 sits 56% above the 2011 sale of £307,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 15 years since the last transfer (December 2011).
