Overview

About Northdown House

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

Northdown House is a five-bedroom detached house in Leeds, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2120 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 197 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 1999–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £758,000 is 21.3% above the 2017 sale price.
