About The Oast
The Oast is a detached house in Otham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8RE). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £745,000 sits 175.9% above the 1999 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 44.2% below the postcode norm.
