About 21 Cotswold Gardens

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

21 Cotswold Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8TB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£358/sq ft) was about 41.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
