Overview

About 19 Discovery Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

19 Discovery Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8HF). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 51.2% above the 2008 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 39% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 101 m² it's 28.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (141 m² median across 26 EPCs).
