Overview

About The Granary

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

The Granary is a four-bedroom detached house in Otham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8RY). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2187 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

At 203 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (243 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 9 years since the last transfer (November 2017). Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £839,000 is 27.4% above the 2017 sale price.
