Overview

About 3 Big Allington Cottages

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

3 Big Allington Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hollingbourne, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1RD). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 103), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since June 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 366.7% above the 1997 sale of £75,000. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
