About Applegarth
Applegarth is a four-bedroom detached house in Otham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8RN). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Period features are noted in the property record.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
