About 12 Gorham Drive
12 Gorham Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8UU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
