About 3 Shirley Way

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

3 Shirley Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8PP). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
