About 23 Discovery Road

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

23 Discovery Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8HF). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1660 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 70).
