About Hucking Hill House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hucking Hill House is a six-bedroom detached house in Hucking, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1QX). It has a recorded floor area of 309 m² (around 3326 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 2004–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,438,000 is 22.4% above the 2017 sale price. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.

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 Hucking Hill House is modelled from its 309 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 1QX. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Hucking Hill House. 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 Hucking Hill House was lodged in June 2016 at band F and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Hucking Hill House. 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. The 1 school and 6 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 1QX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Hucking Hill House is in council tax band G. 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.
