24b, Kingsley Road, Maidstone, ME15 7UN
About 24b
24b is a semi-detached house in Maidstone (ME15 7UN). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 24 m² this is the 5th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–163 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 45 units on file.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£774/sq ft) was about 385.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
