Overview

About 23 Royston Road

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

23 Royston Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 42.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 81.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in September 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2016.
