About 42 West Park Road
42 West Park Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Maidstone (ME15 7AG). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
