About The Granary
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Granary is a four-bedroom detached house in Hucking, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1QT). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1717 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since January 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £750,000 sits 101.3% above the 2006 sale of £372,500. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Granary is modelled from its 159 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1QT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for The Granary. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Granary was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to The Granary. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from ME17 1QT. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Granary is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
