6 Bank Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Hollingbourne, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1UP). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2010.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£10/sq ft) was about 96.3% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
