Overview

About 15 Gorham Drive

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

15 Gorham Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8UU). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Sold December 2021 for £341,500. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
