Overview

About Tower Cottage

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

Tower Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Leeds, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 5-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2019–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 73.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £355,000 in October 2024.
