5 Brockenhurst Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Maidstone (ME15 7ED). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £537,000 sits 186.4% above the 2002 sale of £187,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 52.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2003.
