About 8 Lenside Drive
8 Lenside Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bearsted, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8UE). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in November 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 is 22% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£321/sq ft) was about 42.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
