Overview

About 14 Church Road

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

14 Church Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Otham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 sits 76.2% above the 2009 sale of £227,000. At 76 m² it's 22.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
